DARLING RIU

I am getting so sick of fuckwits month after month shitting on Rip It Up and spoiling my read. To Darren Hammond, why don't you take NMBs cock out of your mouth next time? That magazine's full of hyperbolic shit about bands who are lucky to last a year and whose music sucks. You fascist, you must get a lot of New Zealand coverage for your $3.45, with that attitude, Nazi, you should apply for a job at TVNZ, screwing the kids for as much as you can get, you'd be a natural. And In April some 'Liberated Teen' from Christchurch couldn't hack Donna Y for not licking Robert Smith's bottom for the duration of an interview, christ! As an interviewer Donna has the prerogative to ask what ever she wants to. I would have liked her to ask the fat cunt when he decided to sell out and how often he masturbates thinking about himself, though I guess I'll live. These days the Cure are about as alternative as the Holograms and just as genuine. There's /?77? Countdown for people like you, trendy. RIU does a good job in covering the New Zealand music scene (although I'm still waiting for the great article on ELF from Palmy) as well as a wide enough spectrum to please most people, 'trend/ or not. Because RIU covers such a range of music various people are bound to disagree with certain things that are in there. I'm sure RIU welcomes constructive criticism — but to geeks like you, why bother?
